Jake, good job and good deal doing it w/o the PP stuff to get a better feel. Why no camelbak next weekend? Going to stash some bottles at the start/finish area? Can you do that? Good info to know. I figure go as light as you can and if you have a mechanical say fuck it, pull the DNF you gave it your best shot.
 
very very very nice jake. Think you can find time this week to take me around up there? Middle of the week would be great😀
 
sorry i'm just getting to this. the weekend was full of things including picnics, destroyed alternators and beer. too many beers, in fact, particularly yesterday. at anyrate....

i've been riding "heavy" for the same reasons that i used to do negatives when i was powerlifting: to get my body used to doing things that are more difficult than they need to be so that it can perform at a higher level when i need it to. it works in powerlifting but i don't know how it's going to translate into mt biking. it'd be sweet if it shaved 7 minutes off/lap, but i really, really doubt that'll happen. i'll still carry a tube and a small park tool in a saddle bag but that's it. as for the H20, IIRC they had a couple (or at least one) water station(s). i should be able to get though with that and a water bottle of fakerade.

hopefully fred. gotta see what happens with the scrambler.
 
Unless you've been riding with an anvil, you won't shave 7 minutes off your lap time.

gee, thanks great and inciteful norm. i know i'm not going to shave seven minutes, i just thought it'd be cool if it happened. sheesh. i mean, i never benched anywhere near 700lbs either but doing negatives with it sure as hell helped me bench 455.
 
Hey you said it, which suggests that you were sorta hoping it would happen. Actually since you said "really doubt" that tells me you think there's an outside chance. Well I guess there is but it's my approach to be conservative so...well whatever, you just ride your own ride and ignore me. I'll stop commenting now.

actually, i think i said "really, really doubt" which puts that outside chance somewhere in the vacinity of "next to zero" and "when hell freezes over"

edit: nevermind, i guess your thumbs fell off over the weekend. 😀

Give it an hour or so. I'm mostly done but the boss is floating around. Still need to do some edits and get some MB links. Man is it me or does motionbased get slower each week?

Think about it... how many people that you know personally have bought an Edge 205/305 in the past 6 months? The motionbased servers must be getting crushed with all the rides being uploaded.

Ok I'm flagging you for excessive use of the expression "think about it" in one day.
 
Hey Jake, I thought I saw you yesterday. I was riding nearish to where you seem to live and I saw this massive beefcake on a bike. I was wearing a union jack jersey and the guy waved making me think "Beefcake, near Mendham and one of Jake's loops, potentially recognising me - must be Jake!"

Then I remembered that you's lost 30lbs or something and this guy was close to 300lbs so it couldn't have been you. Nevermind...

yeah, down 35ish lbs...but good lord i never got close to 300. ok, so i was 250 lbs at one point (on a bike, no less) but still.
 
ye olde 20 miler

man it's hot.
it's like africa hot.
tarzan couldn't take this kinda hot.

other than the fact that some critter flew into my jersey and stung me, that about sums up my ride today. i filled my water bottle with ice and it melted completely within 20 minutes. all i can say is, if the weather is like this on saturday there is no freakin' way i'm bailing on the camelbak. i'll just accept my 43ish minute lap times.

data:

plan is to ride EARLY tomorrow, post like 30 miles then walk with the wife and ninjas. weds i'll run, thursday i'll ride again and friday i'll be off. LMC saturday.
 
it's sunday, july 15.

crap, i thought it was saturday. hmmm...this changes plans for the week a bit.
